Belmont Trading was founded in 1988 in Chicago, IL USA, as an electronics component trader company.
In the early 90’s, Belmont found the opportunity to expand its range in the value of obsolete electronics thus diversifying its business model and becoming a recycling company dedicated to precious metal recovery.
During the same decade Belmont started the expansion of its footprint into Europe, Asia and Latin America driven by the demand of service capacity
